The Economy

I've been following this whole US economy going to crap thing in the Japan Times over the past few weeks.  It's not pretty.  I am SHOCKED at the exchange rate today.  When I came to Japan a little over 2 months ago, this is what it was (approximately):

$1 = 107 yen

and I thought that was bad.

Today, however, the exchange rate is:

$1 = 100.4 yen

That is unbelievable.  I really wish I had some yen saved up that I could convert over to dollars because I'd be making a lot more now than ever.  When I was in Japan 6 years ago the exchange rate was about $1 = 125 yen.

Wow.
